Chevy replaced mine this summer. Fortunately no leaks, just a dead cell. No problems since then. Good luck!

I am on my 3rd tranny. Would I be able to file for lemon law?

Edit: Also the tranny I have now is starting to clunk from reverse to drive again

I know it was over when I let the car sit 2 weeks and the battery died. Screw the warranty, I just bought an Optima Red Top instead.

Its just as bad in the Grand Prix of mine you have to remove the windshield washer tank to get to the battery. I just permently removed the damn tank since I don't drive it in the rain.
